A Free Trade Manufacturer HOwls for
 Protection-The Pauper Cage.
 J. B. Sargent has expressed himself somewhat indignantly in one of our To- cal papers because he thinks the hard ware for the ''new poor house" will be bought from manufacturers outside of New Haven. Some of our readers say the builders of this city have as good a right to buy their hardware outside as Mir. Sargent has to employ foreign cheap labor in preference to the skilled work men now forced to roam over the land like tramps. As free-trader Mir. Sar- gent is inconsistent. Well, not any more so than when he was pronounced protectionst. He is always in favor of what will bring the most water to MT. Sargent's well. So that he may get a chance to sell his goods to whoever may build the "cage" for our town paupers he believes in protection, but when it comes to giving fair wages to those who pay the largest share towards building the cage" he believes in free trade in foreign unskilled labor. If his objec- tion to buying the hardware for the new pauper cage" is caused by desire to prevent the Corbins of New Britain from receiving any of our patronage, well and good.
 We think it is about time that the masses who have been hoodwinked by the free trade and protection" jugglers began to understand that the whole thing is but a system of tactics to bring the workingmen of this country down on level with the robber-ridden, pau persed labor of old Europe.
 But the dawn is breaking, and in spite of the bugbears of "red" Socialism, | Communism and Anarchism flung daily before the eyes of the people by a damnably corrupt subsidized press, lib erty will advance, and sooner or later right will prevail.
 He who would be free from the schem- ing free traders and protectionists, ' must work for the freedom and eleva- ton of not only himself but all men, Let him who is honest be not frightened by the alarming hes of canting politi- cians and subsidized editors, and for Gods sake let all of you who know the truth be not afraid to announce it, Let no man hide his light under bushel.

BOARD OF HEALTH.

It is reported that New Haven has a Board of Health. Boards of health are supposed to see to it that disease breed ing nuisances are abated. Even a casual inspection should discover certain nuis- ances existing in the city which it is not hinted exist because members of the Board of Health are on friendly terms whatever that means-with certain landlords and sanitary boss plumbers.
 The above may be considered as mild prelude, if not needed, to plain-spoken name-eXhibiting exposition; or if needed, simply gentle hint that is final.

THE SATISFIED CLASS.

Colonel lngersoll, the great orator, has recently turned his attention to labor topics. In an article written for one of the magazines, he says
 Capital has always claimed and still claims the right to combine. Manufac- turers meet and determine prices, even in spite of the great law of supply and demand. Have the laborers the same right to consult and combine? The rich meet in the bank, the clubhouse or the parlor. Workingmen, when they com bine, gather in the street. All the or ganized forces of society are against them. Capital has the army and the navy, the legislative, the judicial and the executive departments. When the rich combine, it is for the purpose of exchanging ideas When the poor combine. it is a conspiracy. If they act in concert, if they really do something. it is mob If they defend themselves, it is treason How is it that the rich control the department of government? In this country the political power is equally divided among the men. There are certainly more poor than there are rich. Why should the rich controls Why should not the laborers combine for the purpose of controlling the execu- tive, legislative and judicial departmental will they ever find how powerful they are?
 'In every country there is a satisfied class too satisfied to care. They are like the angels in heaven who are never disturbed by the miseries of earth. They are too happy to be generous. This satisfied class asks no questions and answers none. They believe the world is as it should be. All reformers are simply disturbers of the peace-when they talk low, they should not De listened to; when they talk loud they should be suppressed,
 "The truth is to day what it always has been what it always will be those who feel are the only ones who think. A cry comes from the oppressed, from the hungry, from the down-trodden, from the unfortunate, from men who despair and from women who weep. There are times when mendicants be- come revolutionsts-w when rag becomes a banner, under which the noblest and bravest battle for the right.

 The meeting of the striking plumbers, painters and carpenters held in room 26, Boardman building, last Sunday after noon, was very largely attended. Mir. Seymour, President of the Painters Union, called the meeting to order and announced that the first business in or der was the election of chairman. Mir. Stephen G. Nichols, President of the Carpenters Union, was chosen chair man, and in short but commons -sensed address he introduced Mir. A. B. Baerr, of the Tin and Iron section of the Central Labor Union of New York. who explained very forcibly the condition of Organized Labor in that city. Mir. Leddy, an off cer of the same union and a carpenter by trade, said that politicians and capi- talists had more respect and fear for or ganized workingmen than for those out side the Knights of Labor and Trades Unions" But he said, "the 6S. 900 votes cast for Henry George in the late cleo ton in New York has done more to ele- yate labor in this country than all the labor organizations put together; and he advised the workingmen to follow the example set by the men of New

When excited, Professor Goode says,
the swordfish's motions are most quick
and nervous. The fish are sometimes seen
TO leap entirely out of the water. The
pointed head, the fins on the back and
abdomen simply fitting into grooves, the
absence of ventrals, the long, 1.-the, mus
cular body, sloping slowly to the tail, fit
it for the most rapid and forcible move
ment through the water. II strikes with
the accumulated force Of fifteen double
headed hammers. Its velocity is equal to
that of q swivel shot and is as dangerous
in its effects as a heavy artillery projec-
tile. Many very curious instances are on
record of the encounters Of this fish with
other fishes. or Of their attacks upon
ships. What can be the inducement for
it 10 attack objects so much larger than
itself it is hard TO surmise. 1t surely
seems as if a temporary insanity some
times takes possession of the fish. An old
swordiisherman told Mr.. Blackford that
his vessel had been struck twenty times.
There are. however, many instances Of
entirely unprovoked assault on vessels at
sea.-New York Mail and Express.

Tobacco In Persia.

Tobacco is INDUCED in to an incredible
extent. 1t is mostly smoked in Persian
water pipes tghalyan). II the tobacco is
of the Shiraz brands it is very good, but
strong; and the Persian smoker will smoke
so many pipes a day-often forty to fifty
AS to be in a Estate Of happiness
called ''keff," early in the afternoon.
This means a species of n%arcosis brought
ON by their peculiar n of smoking,
that Is, inhaling the smoke, allowing it
to penetrate the lungs, and then letting it
escape by the nose and ears. As tobacco
is excessively cheap and time no object
to the average Persian, this variety OF
dissipation is the most prevalent one, and
n not forbidden by the Koran either.
While the ''kefr" lasts the pupils Of the
eyes are dilated, and a sort of drowsy in
difference to all outside objects seems to
pervade the smoker. A curious fact in
connection with the use Of tobacco in
Persia is the name in which its solace
is provided by vendors in the streets to
all passers by. Cigars are not sold there,
but the vendors, each carrying a goodly
supply OF pipes and tobacco with him, are
plentiful. For two cents anybody can sit
down in the street and smoke awell filled
ghalyan. This takes him about thirty
minutes to do.-The Cosmopolitan.

What Then2

The Republicans are making wry
face over the fact that the colored Of
fetal Mr.. Matthews has proven both
competent and honest. They have
carefully vivisected his record and can
find nothing to object to except that he
is Democrat.
As a sign of the times the prom
inence of Democratic colored man is
portentous to the Republican party.
Suppose it should become known
throughout the South that the r epub-
licans are not the sole political de-
pendence of the negroes; that the
pleasant little fables which were freely
circulated in the South in 1884, to the
effect that if the Democrats came into
power slavery would be once more es-
tablished and negro children served up
on the half shell to satisfy the ogreish
appetite of the Democracy, are shown
to be false, what thenp And suppose
that the colored people who are not as
easily duped as they were ten years
ago should get the fatal notion into
their heads that a Democratic Admin
! istration will look after their rights,
| and, as in the Freedman's Bank swim
die, help them to get back the money
which Republicans stole from them
and which the Republican party re
fused to make good, what then?-N z

The Presidents "Mormonism."

1t is now asserted by Republican
newspapers that "the President is in
active sympathy with the Momons to
the extent that the law should be
softened so as not to interfere with the
crime of polygamy," and to prove this
they point to the fact that Amelia Fol-
som, who was Brigham Young favorite
wife, is a first cousin of Mrs. Cleveland.
As corroborative proof they cite the
circumstance that the last annual mes
sage contains no allusion to the Nor.
mon question. This is all very in
genious, but it isn't convincing. Be-
fore accepting the statement that the
Presidents opinion respecting plural
marriages has undergone complete

UNFULFILLED PROPHECIES.

The Predictions of the Blaine-Sherman-
ties Regarding the Country's Ruin.
Instead of showing that the predic-
tions of the Blaines and the Shermans
that change by the people in their
Government would bring disaster upon
all business enterprises the record of
failures for the last six years seems to
prove that the change was made just in
time to save the country from whole
sale ruin. In 1881 the number of fall
ures was 5,929. In 1882 this had in
creased to 1855. In 1888 the number
had risen to 1O,299. In 1884 there was
another increase to II, ,620, and in 1885,
the first year of the new regime, the
failures dropped to lilo, to be sue
ceeded in 1886 by another drop to 10,-
56S. In the last four years of the rule
which the croakers sought to convince
the people they could not get along
ly doubled. In the first two years of
the new management they have de-
creased by more than one thousand.
Probably by another two years they
will be back again to the place where
they started in 1880.
These figures are neither new nor
surprising to men of intelligence and
fairness, for the ascendancy of any
party which represents the majority of
the people will not be injurious to their
business or any other interest, but they
need to be hammered into the heads OF
the men who have attempted to teach
the vicious doctrine that changes in
party government are apt to hurt any
body except the politicians. The proof
here submitted that things were grow
ing worse with great rapidity under
Republican rule, and that under Dem
ocratic rule they have improved slowly
but surely proves nothing but the pro
pensity of party worshippers to make
fools of themselves on very slight pro.
vocation.
If the improvement should go on th'
Democratic Blaines and Shermans will
need to be warned not to make tn
same mistakes that have now beel
shown up in the case of their adver
saries. No one party is necessary t.
